The Inner Life of Jesus
by Romano Guardini
These pages cut through the blather about "Jesus our friend" to help readers recover a sense of the mighty Savior who faced down the Devil in the wilderness and endured a humiliating, painful death for love of us, without a whisper of complaint. Readers will come to understand aspects of His life that they may have found troubling, including: -- His selective healings: Why He didn't heal all the sick, and how His motives for healing differed from those of a social worker -- His hidden power: Why He didn't show His power to the influential people of His day, and why He never traveled far beyond Palestine -- His difficult road: Why He chose a path that by earthly standards involved nothing but failure, rejection, and abandonment. These pages illustrate why the Conqueror of Sin and Death is, yes, more forbidding than "Jesus our pal, " but also incomparably more attractive. Readers' efforts to follow Christ will be strengthened by a new certainty about what He really asks of us -- and by a new appreciation of His powerful, saving love.
